This diagram depicts a neuromuscular junction (NMJ), a chemical synapse where a motor neuron axon terminal releases acetylcholine (ACh) from synaptic vesicles into the synaptic cleft onto a skeletal muscle fiber. The postsynaptic motor end plate on the sarcolemma shows junctional folds with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), while sarcomeres lie beneath. In neuroanatomy and physiology, this cell-to-cell interface converts neuronal action potentials into muscle contraction, representing a neuron terminal within skeletal muscle tissue at the muscle fiber’s membrane.
